I seem determined this week to litter the blog with a ton of animated GIFS, so much so that your eyes will start getting that tired double lidded thing , similar to when acidic pixels were all over MySpace back in the day (can't quite believe I'm already using 'back in the day' with MySpace...). Still, this is the way that Contributor Magazine have chosen to present their bitesized posts on their haute-blog/e-zine and in their case of frequently uploaded and strangely compelling imagery, it works a treat.
Contributor is contributed to by mainly Swedish contributors (count that word up there...) and it was launched at the last Paris Fashion Week and has been ploughing away with mini-shoots, arresting mono-image posts, and contributors' outfit posts that are not of the conventional WAYWT format. For instance 'Through the looking glass' focuses on Contributor's designer and his understated deets. 'What we're wearing tomorrow' results in haphazard GIFS...
The Beauty shots in particular are quite spectacular... which is abnormal for me to say seeing as me and beauty aren't the best of chums...
I'm also rather taken with key contributor Sara Litzen's visual style insights because a) she seems to have the most immaculately applied red lipstick I've ever come across and b) she has also seemingly bought all of my mother's early 90s reject clothes, the ones which I said no to a few years back and make them look spectacular... velvet padded headbands, oversized coats, many silk blouses etc...
Actually their infatuation with the 90s and mum's old things extends to this GIF here which declares 'You can never have to many old lady accessories"...
... and also an editorial dedicated to the fashion legacy left by Ab-Fab...
